Stop wiring money to organizations that can't pass a basic check.

If you run grants directly

Foundations, family offices, donor-advised funds, and corporate giving programs follow the five-step path above. You stay in your own bank, your own tax-exempt entity, your own approval workflow. We are the verification and evidence layer underneath.

• You retain custody. We never hold or wire funds.
• You retain board authority. We feed you a verdict; the decision is yours.
• You retain regulator-of-record status. We are a service provider, not a fiduciary.

If you serve foundations as a vendor

Grant-management software firms, consulting firms, and fiscal sponsors can offer Attestyx verification as a service to their own customers. You operate the customer relationship; we do the underlying verification, attestation, and evidence work.

• Co-branded portal or pure white-label - your call.
• Reseller economics: revenue share on engagements you originate.
• API + webhook integration for embedding verdicts inside your existing product.
• Joint-marketing playbook for foundation customers already on your platform.

Wire fraud and mail fraud convictions require willful intent or willful blindness. The 148-check Verdict Engine establishes a contemporaneous record that the foundation actively investigated the recipient before approving the transfer. The bundle captures identity verification, beneficial ownership, prior incident history, and red-flag analysis at the moment of decision. A prosecutor evaluating the case against a foundation sees active diligence, not willful blindness.

Attestyx verifies current 501(c)(3) status against IRS Publication 78, the Auto-Revocation List, and the most recent determination letter on every grant. For foreign grantees, the platform supports both Equivalency Determination and Expenditure Responsibility documentation, generating the contemporaneous record IRC 4945 requires. Foundation managers receive a verdict before approval that documents non-knowing conduct, which is the threshold defense against the IRC 4945(a)(2) manager excise tax. Trustees are protected at the individual level, not just at the entity level.

Real-time screening against the SDN list, sectoral sanctions, the EU and UK consolidated lists, and PEP databases at the moment of pre-clearance, re-screened at every disbursement milestone. Strict liability still applies, but OFAC's Framework for Compliance Commitments explicitly considers compliance program quality in penalty determinations. A documented Attestyx screen at the time of transfer is a direct mitigating factor in any enforcement action.

Beneficial ownership verification, source-of-funds analysis where applicable, and cross-foundation prior incident matching. The Bad Actor Registry aggregates signal across every foundation on the platform, so a pattern flagged at one foundation immediately protects the next. The evidence bundle establishes that no party in the chain knew or should have known the recipient was a shell.

Documented good-faith pre-clearance, generated before funds moved, supports the recipient's defense under the UVTA good-faith-for-value provisions. For foundations operating across jurisdictions with varying charitable contribution exceptions, the bundle preserves the option to mount a defense in any forum, regardless of which state's law ultimately applies.

The platform verifies charitable solicitation registration in all 40+ jurisdictions that require it, including California AB 488 platform compliance. State attorneys general evaluating a foundation's diligence see standardized, timestamped evidence rather than reconstructed paperwork assembled after the inquiry began.

5% of grant volume, all-inclusive

Volume tiers reduce marginal rate at scale. $500K minimum annual fee floor covers onboarding and base platform access regardless of volume. Includes every service category. Service-level commitments apply.

Pre-Clearance Lookup tier

Up to100 lookups per year, free. Each lookup runs a Verdict Engine pre-clearance against the full 148-check catalog and returns a risk score with category breakdown. Free participants seed the cross-foundation bad-actor registry, which makes the paid tiers more valuable for everyone.

• Risk score + category breakdown per lookup
• Sanctions screening across OFAC / EU / UK HMT / UN / DFAT / OSFI
• Bad-actor registry consultation (read access)
• No CREB attestation, no court-portable evidence (those are paid)
• Counts toward annual quota; 101st lookup auto-prompts Tier 2 conversion

Recovery Evidence engagement

30% of amounts you recover. $0 base. We build the CREB evidence package + sanctions/BO/registry analysis on past disbursements you suspect were misused; if the foundation recovers funds, we take 30% of net recovery. If you recover nothing, you owe nothing.

• Zero downside: no engagement fee until recovery completes
• Bulletproof against the “we've never had fraud” objection - we go find it
• Includes FRE 902(14) admissible evidence packages for the entire investigation
• Recovery-cost cap of 25% per Doc 01 §7.3 stays intact (we work within it)
• Convert to Comprehensive at any time; Recovery fees apply against future Comprehensive fees
